About this title

Review

Viva Las Vegas! Gambling playground of the rich and poor alike, home of a million daydreams where the only way to make yourself heard is to shout above the constant din of slot machines paying out hundreds of dollars in small change. But Vegas can be a nightmare for the hapless visitor--after all where's a chap to go to be wed by Elvis, take a helicopter ride down the Strip or find the finest purveyor of 36oz medium-rare rump steak?

Enter this invaluable pocket-sized Timeout guide, which packs an incredible amount of information into it's 290 pages. There's more detail here on Vegas then you would ever have thought possible and listings are varied and detailed allowing the roaming tourist to pick and choose the best places to go and sites to see from hundreds of possibilities. Mini-reviews are included of every destination which manage to be both light-hearted and informative and make this wee volume a good read on the aircraft on the way over to the US.

Accompanied by a potted history of the city, tips on how to gamble effectively and a handful of clear, crisp street maps of prominent areas this is one travel guide no self-respecting visitor should be without.
